Results: The highest average noise record at ear level was 83.13 decibels (dB) at dental operatory, and the lowest average noise record was 65.57 dB at endodoncy. The highest average noise record at 45 cm from de clinical dental procedure was 76.99 dB at Fixed Prosthetics, and the lowest average noise record was 61.62 dB at endodoncy.
